Lina Trinch: I actually know that hospitals can't reject people, but I just needed something… dramatic. I don't know. Breach is actually pretty easy to pin. It's really fun writing her voice. You just need to free flow when you're writing her. Like, focus on one point and just go off on semi-rants about that point. You pin Six incredibly well, and he never shows any emotion…sadly. You could probably write Breach too, if you wanted.
"How the hell could we be lost again!" Yin yelled.
"Yin, it'll be okay." Holiday reassured.
"We're lost. My sister is possibly dead. White's a dick. Rex might be dead. How is that anywhere near 'okay'?"
"I don't think the 'White's a dick' part has anything to do with the others." Holiday said.
"Well, it's true." Yin said while rolling her eyes.
Holiday stared in disbelief at Six for support. The agent simply shrugged. "Can't say I disagree…"
"Six!" Holiday objected.
"He's trying to kill your sister, too." Yin pointed out.
"Hm…I suppose you have a point there." Holiday finally agreed.
"Okay, now that we're all in agreement; let's get to the actual plan. Figuring out where we are. We did it last time…I guess we can do it this time." Yin suggested. She looked over the edge of the platform to see if anything was visible below. "I don't think there's anything down there…" The girl paused to think. "Wait-does anyone have a quarter?"
"Why?" Holiday asked.
"I'm going to throw it over the edge to see how long it takes the quarter to hit the bottom."
"I have a mint." Six reached into his pocket and pulled out a mint.
"Of course you do…" Yin teased. She took the mint the agent handed her and threw it over the ledge. The girl started counting, but when she reached thirty and didn't hear the mint reach the bottom; she stopped.
"Okay…so jumping over the edge is out." Holiday said. "What other options do we have?"
"How far away do you think the parallel wall is?" Yin asked.
"Why?" Six questioned.
"I have some string. I can tie it to my sai and use it as a grappling hook."
"Seems risky." Six said.
"We don't really have any other choices." Yin pulled some rope from her jacket along with one of her sai. She tied them together and twirled the sai before throwing it towards the wall. A 'clink' sound could be heard, and when Yin pulled the rope, there was resistance.
"It worked." She stated.
"So who wants to go first?" Holiday asked.
"Not yet. First we have to worry about where that'll lead us, and how to get Rex across." Yin said.
"We need to wake him up." Six stated.
"How." Yin said.
"You're the one with the powers. Can't you figure something out?"
"Wood's no good. Neither is metal…air, earth, fire…using darkness would just corrupt him, and…water might work. It wouldn't hurt to try." Yin lifted her hand and spun it in the air to collect some water. Holiday placed Rex on the ground, and Yin walked over to him and placed her hand against the boy's head. She closed her eyes and the boy began to glow a dark blue color.
"What are you doing?" Holiday asked.
"Healing his mind. I'm not sure what happened to him, but his body shut itself down in defense."
"Well, is he alright? Can you wake him up now?"
"I can try, Holiday." Yin kept her one hand on Rex's head, and placed her other hand on his chest. Rex glowed the same shade of dark blue as before, but this time he released a slight moan. His eyes slowly fluttered open and he began to try sitting up. Six offered Rex his arm, and the boy used it to pull himself up. Upon standing, Rex almost fell back onto the ground, but Six caught him before he fell.
"Wh-what happened?" Rex asked.
"You've been out cold for a while, kid." Six answered.
"How long?"
"A few hours. Maybe a day. We couldn't really keep track of time here." Yin said.
"Where is 'here'?" Rex asked.
"If we knew where 'here' was, we wouldn't still be here." Six said.
"Actually, we're working on that." Yin said. She tightened her grip on the rope before saying, "Well, here goes nothing." And swinging off of the platform.
"Yin…Yin!" Holiday yelled when she didn't hear word of the girl.
"Where'd she go?" Rex asked as he walked over to Holiday and Six and stood beside the two.
"She attached a grappling hook to the other side of whatever this is." Holiday answered.
"It's an elevator shaft!" Yin yelled from an unknown location.
"Yin!" Holiday yelled in joy. "Where are you?"
"I'm at the bottom of the shaft. I used the rope to climb most of the way down, and I free fell when I ran out of rope. In other news, we're in the tower elevator. The one your sister broke that was never repaired."
"How are we getting down?" Six asked.
"Six, you could use your katanas to dig into the side and slow your momentum before impact. Rex, you could most likely handle the fall, especially if you used some of your powers. Holiday, I can toss the grappling hook back up, and you can come down like I did. I'll add some more rope first, so that you won't fall like I did, though."
"Sounds like a plan." Six said.
"Who goes first?" Rex asked.
"Let's see…Holiday-you'll leave little to no impact, so you should probably go first. Rex, you'll leave the most impact and may even damage the exit, so I suggest you go last." Yin advised.
"Let's see how well this works." Rex commented. Yin pulled the grappling hook from the wall and tied some more rope to the end. She then threw the end of it up to the platform, and heard a clink when the sai hit latched onto the platform. The girl tugged on the rope to make sure it was secure, and told Holiday to jump.
The doctor climbed down from the platform and grabbed the rope before releasing her grip from the platform. She slid down the rope and eventually hit the bottom, where Yin was standing. The sai had fallen off of the platform along with Holiday, so Yin picked up the weapon and placed it back in her pocket. Six was next to go.
The agent pulled out his katanas and jumped to the other side of the shaft, digging his katanas into the other side. Bright yellow sparks from where the agent's katana was digging into the shaft could be seen. He quickly reached the bottom, and his impact was minimal once he reached the bottom. Last, but not least, Rex was next to go.
"Wait, so what am I doing again?" Rex asked.
"You're jumping, and then using either your super hand things or super boot things so that the impact won't be too much to handle." Yin said.
"Okay, sounds like a plan." The boy jumped from the platform, and began screaming at the top of his lungs.
"We should probably move." Yin advised Six and Holiday. The three moved to the other side of the beat up portion of the tower, and shortly after Rex came down with his self-referred "super boots" equipped.
"So everyone's alright?" He asked.
"Maybe not Breach." Yin said.
"Why would we care if Breach is okay?" Rex asked. He had been unconscious when Yin revealed the girl to be her sister.
"Rex, Breach is my sister." Yin said. The teen's eyes went wide in disbelief. "And White is holding her hostage."
"Why?"
"You remember that place we were before you blacked out?"
"Yeah."
"She sent us there." Yin said. "We're not sure why, yet, though."
"What's White doing to her?"
"We're not sure. He locked us in a room beside the shaft, though, so it can't be good." The girl reasoned.
"And we heard Breach scream a while back." Six added.
"Point is; we need to get moving." Yin said. She pulled her pair of sai from her jacket and ran out of the tower exit, straight down the hallway toward White's conference room. Six, Holiday, and Rex looked between each other before following Yin down the hall to White's office.
The four ran to White's conference room, and Yin jumped in the air and kicked the door down after she put a dent in it with her sai. When she landed, Yin noticed that Breach was no longer in the room…all that was there was only a set of empty chains.
Rex, Six, and Holiday ran into the room shortly after Yin's discovery. "Yin, where's Breach?" Six asked.
"I don't know…she's gone."
"She's not gone." White said, his face appearing on the video screen. "She's just been…relocated."
"Where the hell did you put her, White." Yin demanded.
"And why would I tell you that." White countered.
"Because I can hack these security systems. I can cancel your little nanite firewall function for your office."
"You couldn't do that."
"Do you really believe that? I hacked motion sensors, security monitors, everything, when I was just a kid." White and Yin glared daggers at one another for a moment, before Yin said, "But, that's not the point here. The point is a much better question; do you really want to challenge me to try?"
"Yin, I really don't care." The girl simply shrugged and walked over to the computer systems. She began typing, and a few minutes later; a window popped up, which she sent to White's main computer.
"There's your security system by-passer. If I just key in a passcode, it'll disable your security systems."
"You don't know the passcode." White challenged.
"Wanna bet?" Yin typed in the first few numbers of White's password. "This right so far?"
White froze upon seeing the screen displaying the numbers Yin had typed. "Okay, she's been relocated."
"I know that, you idiot! I want to know where she was relocated to!" Yin screamed at White.
"The destroyed section of the tower."
"We were just there! She isn't there, White. Tell us where the hell you put her!"
"Go check."
"I'm not an idiot, White." White opened his mouth to speak, but before he said anything, Yin cut him off. "And before you say anything, yeah, I do know you're just trying to bait us. That's exactly why everyone else is gone."
White turned his focus away from Yin and looked around the room. "Where did they go."
"They've been 'relocated'." Yin said while grinning.
"You'll still never find her." The girl placed her hand against her ear as she turned away from White.
"What's that Six? You what? You," She turned to face White. "Why isn't that nifty. Your old partner found the girl you had trapped."
"Won't find you in time." A loud slam erupted from the doors of the conference room. Yin turned to see what happened. The doors had closed. She was locked in.
AN:
Okay, I didn't have time to proof read this, so I left it to word and its little squiggly line correction thingy. I've been busy writing out this fight sequence between Rex and Yin, but I'm not sure how to lead to it…hopefully I'll think of something. Shouldn't take place for a few more chapters. Right now, I have the idea that Rex is irresponsible and puts Six's life at risk because he's not at a fight. Not sure how well that'll play out while I write about it, but what the hell. Might as well give it a try.
